The Lotus Cannot Be Condescending
Lotuses are found in white and pink colors in general and they grow in shallow and murky waters. ~ theflowerexpert.com The lotus cannot have a condescending attitude towards the waters it grows in. If it does that, it will not be able to grow and bloom. It won’t be any fun either. Lotus – called… Continue reading The Lotus Cannot Be Condescending
